  On Thursday's show: The University of Houston Institute for Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality has issued a report based on interviews with leaders of a number of organizations that provide services for victims of domestic violence. It calls for significant community investment in those efforts. We talk with Emilee Whitehurst of Houston Area Women's Center about what her organization is seeing in terms of domestic violence trends in Greater Houston today. Also this hour: Washington Post health and science reporter Carolyn Johnson tells us about her experience navigating what she calls “the sludge” – the administrative burden the health insurance industry's hoops place on people trying to navigate coverage denials and appeals, like she went through seeking desperately needed medication for her young son. We also talk with Ken Janda from the UH College of Medicine about why health insurance companies engage in a practice called step therapy, which intentionally puts obstacles in the way of accessing higher-priced drugs, even when they're proven to work. Plus: About one in five construction-related jobs in Texas are held by women. We learn how apprenticeship programs and other efforts may encourage more women to join the construction workforce here. And it was just a little less than a year ago that Milton Hopkins died. The longtime Greater Houston-area blues musician was one of the last connections to a classic era of celebrated performers, including his cousin, Lightnin' Hopkins, but also Big Mama Thornton, Johnny Ace, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, and Marvin Gaye. He performed with them all. We spoke about him in the days after he died with Sandra Scott, president of the Houston Blues Society. We listen back to some highlights from that conversation.

"She's Beautiful" --that may be the first thing to come to mind when you see a photo of MISS TEXAS USA 2020, Taylor Kessler. If you've learned anything about the women of MISS USA it's that they're all more than a pretty face. Taylor, specifically, has overcome, adapted, and evolved through the adversities in her own life. I reached out to Taylor initially because, after following her on social media since the inception of her reign in August 2019, she seems like the most confident woman in the world. "How did she do it?" i thought, I needed to know how she built her confidence overtime. Turns out, she's faced an incredible amount of emotional tragedy and overcome unbelievable: domestic violence. In this episode, Taylor shares with us her emotional personal story, how she overcame domestic violence, and later rediscovered her confidence. I'm so incredibly proud of this woman and love being able to share her powerful story with the world, with the hope of encouraging other young men and women who are in situations of domestic violence. Taylor graduated with a double major in Communications and Broadcast Production. Fluent in American Sign Language, this former competitive athlete set her sights on joining the NFL as a sideline reporter, and she is an intern at GALvanize, Women in Sports. Serving as host and emcee for the ALL American Bowl on NBC put Taylor on the radar with a few NFL teams beforeCovid19 struck. Not to be “sidelined,” Taylor set out to obtain her Real Estate license, which will double her impact: allowing her to sell you your home on Saturday and sell you sports on Sunday! Taylor is an active volunteer with various organizations including Houston Area Women’s center, Saafe House and Jamie’s Hope to name a few. Tune in to hear the powerful story of MISS TEXAS USA 2020, Taylor Kessler, and why she's essentially the "titleholder" for "Miss Understood." Follow Taylor's journey to MISS USA as she competes for the title on FYI network live, November 9th.

https://www.tourdecrypto.com/ https://bitninjasupply.com/ https://hodlfuel.com/  Biking Across America, Crypto Cyclists Look to Raise $1 Million for Charity September 12, 2018, 03:43:31 PM EDT By Rebecca Campbell, Bitcoin Magazine Crypto, charity and cycling. It's an unlikely triad, but two fitness enthusiasts-turned-crypto philanthropists believe that, taken in combination, the three can drive positive change. Taking a cross-country cycling trip around the U.S., Tour de Crypto riders Jason Berlin and Jovel Velasquez want to raise $1 million in cryptocurrencies and USD for the Houston Area Women's Center ( HAWC ), a non-profit organization with the mandate to "[end] domestic and sexual violence for all." Through its advocacy, counselling, education, shelters and support services, HAWC works to help survivors build safe and healthy lives. If Berlin and Velasquez meet their goal, the money will be enough to fund half a year of services to HAWC's 120-bed secure shelter. To ensure transparency, donors can verify that the wallet addresses listed on Tour de Crypto's website and HAWC's own are the same, and "100% of the donations will go directly to HAWC via wallets maintained and controlled by HAWC," Tour de Crypto's donation page states. The tour will kick off on Friday, September 14, 2018, in the Hamptons, New York, ending on Friday, November 9, 2018, in Huntington Beach, California, and the entire trip will also be recorded with videographers and an audio crew along the way. Along the route , Berlin and Velasquez will be stopping in Houston to visit the headquarters of HAWC. At the time of publication, the project is accepting donations in bitcoin, ether, litecoin, monero, digibyte, reddcoin, electra, paccoin and phore. The Electra community was the first to sign up, according to Blake Rizzo, head of charity affairs for Tour de Crypto. At last count, he said that over 7 million electra (~$4,340) had been donated to HAWC. Speaking to Bitcoin Magazine , Rizzo explained that he was approached by Berlin with the idea of the tour. Rizzo said that Berlin came up with the concept, a play on the Tour de France, as a way to do something that raises awareness for cryptocurrency donations to charity. "He also had a personal goal to ride a bike across the United States, so he decided to combine the two," Rizzo added. With a background in law as a commercial litigation attorney, Berlin originally approached Rizzo to draft documents for the tour. However, the more Rizzo got involved, the more opportunity he saw, so he took on a more active role to help increase awareness of the riders' mission and how they hope to accomplish it. When Berlin began speaking to Rizzo about potential charities, Rizzo immediately suggested HAWC, which has a four-star rating on Charity Navigator . It wasn't long before Berlin decided to make the sexual assault survivor center the main focus on the first tour, which is expected to be the first of many. "The goal is to do this every year and not only have a charity that is the main focus, but also ask other communities and coins to get involved and do one of two things," said Rizzo. "They can have me set up HAWC with their particular wallet so their community can donate or [they can] go out and get another charitable organization accept their coin, so we can add them to the list and promote different charities along the way." In a way, the first tour will be a trial run to see how crypto communities can come together to benefit charitable organizations. Beyond raising money for HAWC, the tour will be a challenge for its two riders. According to Rizzo, Berlin and Velasquez are not your typical Lycra-clad cyclists, but that's not to say they haven't put the work in prior to the start of the trip. During the interview, Rizzo told me that the pair had just completed a 130-mile training trip, and the two are riding each day to condition themselves and prep their legs for the roughly 4,000 mile journey. When they're not riding, Berlin is talking to various exchanges and coin operators who are interested in getting involved on the tour, either as sponsors or participating coins. So far, Ronnie Moas, founder of Standpoint Research and World Crypto Con , is a leading sponsor. World Crypto Con's website states that it will donate 5 percent of all ticket sales to HAWC. Moas was quick to join the effort. When raising awareness for Tour de Crypto, Rizzo came across a tweet from Moas regarding World Crypto Con, so he reached out to talk to him about the tour's charitable mission. "Within minutes he responded," added Rizzo. "He had checked out our Twitter page and our mission and basically said 'I'm in, call me or send me your number,' and just like that I was on the phone with him for an hour and a half going through everything. He agreed right there to be our lead sponsor."

In this week’s show our guest is Candice Holloway, a Licensed Professional Counselor, who is in private practice and a therapist for the University of the Houston. She is a former employee of the Houston Area Women’s Center. During our program we discuss important information that can help raise awareness about the sexual assault of minors. We explore important issues, such as the controversy about Judge Roy Moore run for election to the case of Larry Nassar. One accused of pursuing underage women and the other molesting young athletes when he was supposed to provide external medical treatment with permission of the parents. Ms. Holloway explains the way these acts affected number people and how the power differential between the perpetrator and the survivors plays a role. Below are some articles of interest regarding this topic: http://time.com/3001785/todd-akin-legitimate-rape-msnbc-child-of-rape/ https://massappeal.com/alex-marlow-breitbart-rape/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/larry-nassar-gets-another-40-125-years-sex-abuse-case-n844676

In this week’s show our guest is Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC). Ms. Manzano is the Sexual Assault Services Coordinator at HAWC. During this episode we discuss current affairs, such as the accusations against Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump, the definitions of rape and sexual assault, and how the media can serve as a resource for survivors. We also explore how it is often challenging for those who have experienced sexual violence to share their story and how victim-blaming shifts responsibility away from the perpetrators. Anyone seeking additional information on this issue can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE (4673).

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Twitter's new “buy” button; we have an interview with Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women's Center about Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we reminisce on ghost stories in celebration of Halloween. In the In Case You Missed it Segment (ICYMI) we talk about changes in LinkedIn, with LinkedIn Groups becoming private. And … did you hear the story about the drunk driver who was Periscoping herself and gots arrested? Her viewers called the police on her. You can find the complete story on CNN, after you listen to the show. Twitter has rolled out their “Buy” button, making it possible to purchase from select ecommerce providers without ever leaving Twitter. What does this mean for us as conspicuous consumers, and for business owners? You can read more about this new feature in the Twitter announcement, or find out how to implement this for your business. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
